So there's no reason that people living in the Middle East should bring light of their suffering to Westerners? So you're basically asking people to never complain, and never ask for a sorry to people that have beat them down? Well I guess those Inuit we sent up to the Arctic won't be getting an apology, and all those First Nations should shut up about their suffering.And that's exactly why radical Islam is a much different and more credible threat to innocent western civilians internationally. If I was a radical Iman or leader of a radical Islamic country I'd be targeting Westerners throughout the globe too. In addition to the perceived slights you mention, it's also easy to divert my people away from their poverty and lack of freedoms by vilifying and blaming the West.
You don't seem to think of it as an actual political situation. You seem to be blinded by the false media accusations that Islam is a dangerous and evil religion instead of the conflict and war on terror the result of hundreds of years of those regions being kicked around by the west. It's enflamed even more when the media has to point out that any sort of attack was made by radical Islamists. After 9/11, people want to create a blame figure, and the media gets more attention when they mention Muslims doing something hateful. Yet when people talk about violence in Africa or China, they don't say "Christian Fundementalists" or "Tibetian Dissidents," they use much lighter language.
